19180,https://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19180,"WOOLSON, Abba Goold ","Women poets, American^^Authors","Author Abba Louise Goold Woolson was born on her family compound in Windham, Maine, on April 30, 1838. She was the daughter of author and Maine historian William Goold. Her family had long-established roots in Maine and resided in Windham for several generations.
Abba received an education from the Portland public schools and attended the Girls' High School. She graduated from the Girls' High School as valedictorian in 1856. This year would prove to be exciting for Abba as it was also the year she married her high school principal, Professor Moses Woolson, and was first published in New York's Home Journal.
While living in Portland, Maine, Abba went on to start a successful and robust career as an author. She penned a series of popular poems for the Portland Transcript, a publication she contributed to for four years. Through the course of her writing career, she published dozens of essays, lectures, poems, and collections. In 1874, Abba edited and contributed to ""Dress Reform,"" a series of lectures by women physicians of Boston on ""Dress as It Effects the Health of Women."" The lectures were originally delivered in the prior year as part of a dress-reform series sponsored by the New England Women’s Club. In this work, Abba amplified the voices of physicians speaking out against impractical dress.
Through her work as a teacher, she passed down her writing skills and wisdom. Abba was a teacher at the Mt. Auburn Girls' School and the Concord High School. Her talent as a poet led to several speaking engagements, including Portland's celebration of the Maine Centennial and the dedication of the Fowler Library in Concord, New Hampshire. Being one of New England's premier writers, it's no surprise that Abba served in many literary groups and societies. Her most notable commitments were serving as president of the Castilian Club and the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women.
Aside from her devotion to writing, teaching, and reform, Abba traveled extensively. Her travels included visiting the West Coast of the United States, Europe, and Morocco.
Abba passed away on February 6, 1921, at the age of 82.",,,,,"Del Vecchio, Lauren^^McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7838034.9481883 5432773.0643987)|POINT(-7823442.3813747 5411040.9298555)|POINT(-7911497.837947 5214139.1450203)|13|-7838158.6273846|5432723.5660984|osm

19178,https://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19178,"DALL, Mrs. Caroline Wells",,"Caroline Wells Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 22, 1822. Her parents, Mark Healey and Caroline Foster, provided her with an exclusive education, consisting of private tutoring and private schooling, until she was 15 years old. From 1837 to 1842, she administered a nursery in the North End of Boston. In 1842, Caroline began teaching at Georgetown Female Seminary, where she met Unitarian minister Charles Dall, whom she would marry in 1844.
Once married, Caroline was increasingly involved in women’s suffrage causes. A gifted and prolific writer, reformer, and activist, she became a staunch advocate for women’s rights. Caroline and Charles lived in Toronto in the early 1850s. By 1855, Charles Dall had traveled alone to India to work as a Unitarian missionary, returning only once to America before his death in 1886.
For many years, Caroline was actively involved in the Boston women’s rights movement. One of her many important books, The College, the Market, and the Court (1867), based on a series of lectures she gave in Boston in 1861-1862, is a collection of essays about women’s rights, education, economic advancement, and protection under the law.
Her other publications include Historical Pictures Retouched: a Volume of Miscellanies (1859), in which she discusses lesser-known important women from history, Essays and Sketches (1849), and Women's Rights Under the Law: In Three Lectures, Delivered in Boston, January, 1861 (1862).
In 1865, Dall helped found the American Social Science Association. Along with suffragist Paulina Davis, Caroline Dall founded both the New England Women’s Rights Convention and Una, a journal devoted to advocating for women’s rights. Because of these activities, she is often associated with fellow activist, Transcendentalist, and journalist Margaret Fuller regarding their advocacy for the advancement of women.
Later in life, Caroline distanced herself from the women’s rights movement and published such eclectic and diverse works as Egypt (Egypt's Place in History 1868), the Civil War (Patty Gray's Journey, three volumes for children, 1869–70), and What We Really Know About Shakespeare (1885), The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee (1888), Margaret and Her Friends: Ten Conversations with Margaret Fuller (1895), and Transcendentalism in New England (1897). In her 70s, she continued lecturing and giving sermons at the Unitarian Church.
After several years of suffering from arthritis, Caroline died of pneumonia on December 17, 1912, at the age of 90.

19177,https://marykatemcmaster.org/WOC/items/show/19177,"SEDGWICK, Miss Catharine Maria",,"Born in Stockbridge, MA, Catharine Maria Sedgwick was the sixth of the seven surviving children of Theodore Sedgwick and Pamela Dwight Sedgwick. Catharine’s mother was ill for most of her childhood and died when Catharine was seventeen. A year later, her father remarried Penelope Russell. For most of Catharine’s childhood, her father was away from home for more than half of each year pursuing a political career with six terms in the Continental Congress, U.S. House of Representatives, Speaker of the House, Senator from Massachusetts, and a Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice, and then passed away in 1813 when Catharine was twenty-three.
Although Catharine did not go to college, she considered herself to have been raised in a highly intellectual home:
""I was reared in an atmosphere of high intelligence. My father had uncommon mental vigor. So had my brothers. Their daily habits, and pursuits, and pleasures were intellectual, and I naturally imbibed from them a kindred taste"" (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 46-47).
When she was ten, Catharine could be found during her school lunch hour under her desk munching and reading Rollins’s Ancient History. While her four brothers followed in their father’s footsteps and became lawyers, they encouraged Catharine to pursue her writing, and she published her first book at age thirty-three.
Professionally, Catharine went on to become a successful and prolific author on a wide variety of topics in six novels, over one-hundred short stories and sketches, as well as domestic novellas, advice manuals, biographies, religious tracts, travelogues, and children’s books. She is considered to be one of the founders of American literature and enjoyed national and international renown during her lifetime. It is noteworthy that Catharine and Martha Washington were the only women selected for inclusion in the first volume of the National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans.
The indefatigable Catharine continued to write for forty years publishing her last piece at the age of seventy-two. Catharine also taught at her sister-in-law’s Young Ladies’ School in Lenox, MA and various Sunday schools, including the Isaac T. Hopper Home. In her later years, she volunteered for the Female Department of the New York Prison Association (becoming president from 1848 to 1863), which led to her opening the Home for Discharged Female Convicts.
Personally, Catharine chose to become a member of her siblings’ households instead of marrying various suitors. For most of her life, she lived and worked in New York City and Stockbridge/Lenox, MA and traveled throughout North America and Europe. She also participated in the Berkshire’s literary society and received visits from authors, politicians, activists, and renowned international figures.
Catharine passed away in 1867 at the home of her niece in West Roxbury at the age of seventy-seven. She was remembered as a “true and beautiful soul, a clear and refined intellect, and a singularly sympathetic social nature” (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 10) with “clear good sense, and graced by a charm of style of which she was the master during her whole life”:
""Her unerring sense of rectitude, her love of truth, her ready sympathy, her active and cheerful beneficence, her winning and gracious manners, the perfection of high breeding, make up a character, the idea of which, as it rests on my mind, I would not exchange for any thing in her own interesting works of fiction"" (Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick: 446).
Catharine was buried in the family plot in Stockbridge next to her beloved nurse, Elizabeth (“Mum-Bett”) Freeman. (Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description; Sedgwick Pie). Mum-Bett had been the first freed slave in Massachusetts who thereafter earned a living by working in the home of her attorney, Catharine’s father, and became an important mother figure to the family before her father remarried in 1808 (Massachusetts Historical Society Collections Online: Witness to America’s Past Description; Lucinda L. Damon-Bach & Victoria Clements, Catharine Maria Sedgwick: Critical Perspectives at xxiii and xxxiv (2003)).
Catharine had used her gift with words to memorialized Mum-Bett’s noble life in her article “Slavery in New England” in 1853 (Miss Sedgewick [sic], “Slavery in New England,” in XXXIV Bentley’s Miscellany at 417, 424 (1853)). Five years after Catharine’s death, Harper & Brothers would do the same for Catharine by publishing a book entitled the Life and Letters of Catharine M. Sedgwick, which was edited by her life-long neighbor, Mary E. Dewey.

Lowman, who served as mayor of Oskaloosa, Kansas, was born in Shelocta, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, on January 27, 1842. She married George W. Lowman in 1866 and moved to Kansas. Mary became the mother of two children.
She taught for many years in Pennsylvania and Kansas, including three years in Kansas when Mary focused her attention on teaching newly emancipated African-Americans.
Also committed to fighting for religious causes, Mary, a Presbyterian, gave significant time to this work.
Mary was Assistant to the Register of Deeds, her husband, in her hometown of Oskaloosa, Kansas before running for and being elected mayor in 1888. She and her team of female council members were very successful in administering Oskaloosa, and they were reelected in 1889. They received many notices in the press and much attention.
Tragically, as the Topeka State Journal explains, Mary died ""from burns sustained when her clothing caught fire, while preparing a meal"" at her home in Oskaloosa. She passed away the next day, June 2, 1912, and was buried in Oskaloosa's Pleasant View Cemetery.
In the article discussing her passing, Topeka State Journal described Mary as ""a woman of fine character and rare good sense and the finest modesty, and she bravely and quietly, with her assistants, went on with the work of governing the little city of a thousand people, and it was well governed, too, and an example set that told for the right for years following.""",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-10610349.299287 4751849.7825107)|POINT(-8827804.3587251 4961684.8954115)|14|-8827699.2578112|4961489.7719819|osm

She went to Millbrook, New York, to attend Nine Partners School, a Quaker school, where she met James Mott, a teacher at the school. Lucretia and James were married in 1811. After graduating from Nine Partners School, she taught there. Later, Lucretia became a Quaker minister. James and Lucretia made their home in Philadelphia.
Throughout her life, Lucretia was active in reform efforts, writing and speaking eloquently and passionately about the topics that she believed in, as well as organizing and attending meetings and conventions. Lucretia was instrumental in the founding of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1834. She also was very involved with the Pennsylvania Peace Society, the American Anti-Slavery Society, and women's suffrage activities. She, her sister Martha Coffin Wright, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were the movers behind the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. She also worked closely with Lucy Stone and Susan Brownell Anthony.

After she was educated at a convent in Michigan, Helen returned to Maine and became a teacher. By 1888, Helen was teaching at her own private school in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Desiring to become a journalist, she changed her career course. Helen moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and became a reporter for the Bar Harbor Record, as the Boston correspondent, and Boston's Saturday Evening Gazette. She was an early member of the New England Woman's Press Association, serving as the recording secretary until April of 1891. (Lord, 54) At that time, she returned to Maine to become managing editor of the Bar Harbor Record, but her tenure there came to an end when the new owner fired her. She moved back to Boston and wrote for the Boston Home Journal (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). Helen was a determined journalist. As the Savannah Courier of January 14, 1892, noted: ""MISS HELEN SMITH, who edited the Bar Harbor Record last summer, is said to be the only editor who succeeded in procuring an interview with Mr. Blaine"" (1).
In 1893, Helen returned to Sullivan Harbor, bought the Bar Harbor Record, and became managing editor of the newspaper (Vandenberg and Shettleworth). In addition, she was manager of the Bar Harbor Press Co., a job printing establishment tied to the Bar Harbor Record. By 1897, Helen was catering to, and making a profit off of, the many wealthy people who flocked to the area during the warm weather by issuing semi-weekly editions of The Society Journal of Mt. Desert Island. Helen retired from the Bar Harbor Record in November of 1904 (Maine Press Association Report, 33). She became publisher of Bar Harbor Life in 1918, continuing in this position for several years. While spending the winter in Boston in 1923, Helen wrote “Jottings from Boston” for The Bangor News. Later that year, she was run over while in Boston and suffered serious injuries. Helen passed away on December 16, 1923, and was buried in Sullivan Harbor’s York Hill Cemetery.

Scarlett Dixon was born in Robeson, Berks County, Pennsylvania, on October 23, 1822. She grew up in a Quaker family that became very involved in the Anti-Slavery cause. Having lost both parents by the age of sixteen, Mary was very interested in medicine. After pursuing a teaching career, she entered the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1855. When Mary graduated in 1857, she continued to take classes, worked with poor patients, and delivered lectures on medical topics.
Beginning in 1859, Mary taught at her alma mater and held the title of Professor of Anatomy. Eventually, she established a successful practice in Philadelphia and changed her position to Professor of Anatomy and Histology. Mary's colleagues included Rachel Bodley, Emeline H. Cleveland, and Ann Preston. On March 16, 1867, Mary gave the valedictory address at the graduation ceremony. Her address, which was printed in The Evening Telegraph that evening, included wise advice for both future physicians and all women.
After she married G. Washington Dixon on May 8, 1873, when she was fifty years old, Mary continued to teach and practice medicine. In addition to her medical practice and personal life, Mary advocated for peace reform. When she was named a member of the Executive Board of the Pennsylvania Peace Society in 1876, she worked with Lucretia Mott and others for this cause.
In 1881, Mary left the faculty of the school that had been renamed The Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, and an article from October of 1885 in the Richmond Dispatch referred to Mary as ""professor emeritus...."" Unfortunately, Mary suffered from glaucoma. By 1886, she also needed to curtail her practice.

After marrying businessman and politician Jonas Greene in 1841, Louisa became the mother of a son, Jonas Willard Greene, who was stillborn, two younger sons, Willard Jonas Greene and George Henry Greene, and five daughters, Martha, Estelle, Christina, Wilma, and Charlena. The family lived in Peru, Maine.
Louisa was involved in many philanthropic and reform activities, including ministering to the sick using the Water Cure, and participating in philanthropy, anti-slavery reform, temperance reform, and suffrage efforts. Louisa utilized her public speaking and journalistic talents on behalf of the causes she believed in.
Before the Civil War, Louisa wrote poetry, contributed articles to the Oxford Democrat, and led anti-slavery efforts in her area As her daughter Christina later remembered, Louisa was very active in the war effort: ""During the civil war Mrs. Greene's patriotic labors were untiring. In addition to multitudinous household duties, which were always faithfully performed, she took upon herself the labor of collecting, preparing and forwarding hospital supplies for the boys at the front who were so dear to her heart.""
In 1869, Louisa's family moved to Manassas, Virginia, residing at the home they named Birmingham. She became a widow four years later.
Louisa passed away in Washington, D.C. on March 5, 1900, and her ashes were buried in the family plot at St. Paul's Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition to Christina's beautiful obituary, Louisa's daughter Estelle also penned a farewell announcement and included a poem that she had written about her mother's passing. Within her tribute, Estelle included Louisa's motto: ""Help for the living and hope for the dead.""
At the National American Woman Suffrage Association Convention in February of 1902, it was announced that Louisa had bequeathed $100 to the organization.

She was an extremely intelligent and talented woman. As her A Woman of the Century profile notes:
""At an early age Corinne showed a decided histrionic talent. In her ninth year she won the Peabody medal for elocution in the Atlanta schools over competitors aged from eight to twenty-five years. In 1889, she was placed in the Cincinnati College of Music, where she made the most brilliant record in the history of the school, completing a four year course in seven months.""
After graduation, Corinne conducted parlor readings and taught elocution. She was a very popular teacher, but after a year she decided to forge a journalism career and joined the Atlanta Journal.
In March of 1892, when she was just twenty, Corinne's ""Field of Woman's Work"" was published in Atlanta Journal and then reprinted in The Herald and News.
She was a member of the Governing Board of the Georgia Women's Press Club, where her colleagues included Leonora Beck and Ellen J. Dortch,
During the time of the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, the Waterbury Democrat of Connecticut noted Corinne as one of the ""leading women"" journalists in Atlanta. It also noted her female colleagues at the Atlanta Journal, Mary Louise Huntley, Brent Whiteside, and Mary Jackson, as well as Emily Verdery Battey and other prominent Georgia women
On June 17, 1896, Corinne married Thaddeus E. Horton, another South Carolina native who had become managing editor of the Atlanta Journal in late 1894, at St. Luke's Church in Atlanta. The couple lived in Atlanta until they moved to New York City in late 1897. The Anderson Intelligencer of October 20, 1897, noted the Atlanta Journal's piece about their move:
""Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Horton have scores of friends who will read with mingled emotions of interest, congratulations and regret that they leave soon to make their home in New York. Mrs. Horton has lived in Atlanta all her life and Mr. Horton for the past seven years; and both have warm friends who hate to see them go, and yet who realize that the going means literary advancement. Mr. Horton has accepted a position on the Times, and Mrs. Horton will pursue her literary work at the great center of things with increased advantage.""
Unfortunately, their life in New York was not as happy as it was anticipated to be. Thad served as political editor of The New York Times until he died of typhoid fever on November 21, 1899. The next April, Corinne, who had moved back to Atlanta and was living with her mother, gave birth to their daughter, Thaddesia Edgarda.
While raising her infant in 1900, Corinne wrote for the September and October volumes of Ladies' Home Journal. She continued writing throughout the decade, contributing to House Beautiful and Uncle Remus's Magazine.
In 1909, Corinne founded the Atlanta Players' Club and was in charge of a benefit performance at the Grand Opera House. She also directed a performance of an Oscar Wilde play. Corine continued her writing as well, contributing ""Old South in American Architecture"" to the Uncle Remus's Magazine for October, 1909.
During Theodore Roosevelt’s 1912 Presidential Campaign, Corinne was chair of the “Georgia Moosettes” for Atlanta’s Fifth Congressional District. She and numerous other Georgian women supported Roosevelt’s Progressive platform because they saw it as a positive force for women.
Corinne was married to Chauncey Smith by 1920, a marriage that lasted until his death in the early 1930s. She lived in Atlanta with her daughter for many years, then she moved to Baldwin in the 1940s. Corinne passed away in Fulton, Georgia on September 11, 1947 and was buried in Atlanta's Crest Lawn Cemetery.

After attending Alfred Holbrook's National Normal School in Ledyard, Ohio. Sarah was a teacher until her marriage to George H. La Fetra on October 6, 1867.
The La Fetra family moved to Washington, D.C., where they became members of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, and Sarah became very active in both mission and temperance activities. She was an early member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of DC. serving as its treasurer in 1881 and as its president by 1885. According to A Woman of the Century, Sarah was manager of ""a temperance hotel and cafe in the very heart of the city of Washington for many years"" (443). The Washington Times notes that this was Temple Cafe on F. Street, and she later managed the Hotel Fredonia on I Street. In 1894, Sarah opened Hotel La Fetra on Eleventh and G Street (Streets of Washington). Sarah was still president on February 19, 1895, when she was asked to join Frances Willard and other world and national leaders of the W.C.T.U. in presenting a polyglot petition for prohibiting ""drink traffic and the opium trade"" to President Cleveland at the White House (Washington Herald, November 15, 1914). In October of that year, she was named Superintendent of the new ""Department of Christian Citizenship"" at the World W.C.T.U.'s meeting in London. In the Ocala Evening Star of October 30, 1895, Sarah gave a detailed definition of the ""Christian citizenship"" she wished to promote.
Also very active in missionary work, by the first decade of the twentieth century, Sarah was a leader in the Woman's Interdenominational Mission Union. On April 4, 1912, the Baltimore branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Association announced plans to build the Sarah Doane La Fetra Home in Bidar, India. This mission home was named to honor Sarah, the organization's vice president (Washington Herald, April 4, 1912).
The Evening Star included a lengthy article about Mr. and Mrs. La Fetra's fiftieth wedding anniversary party, which was held on October 6, 1917. In addition to mentioning Sarah's leadership in the W.C.T.U., it noted that she ""was also an originator of the work for fallen women in Washington, and has for many years been an active worker for the Hope and Help Mission, which was started by the W.C.T.U."" According to the article, among those praising Sarah's work was Rosetta Lawson, ""organizer of the national W.C.T.U. for colored people.""
Sarah passed away on May 7, 1919. In addition to being remembered at her funeral, the W.C.T.U. honored Sarah at a memorial service. While she was no longer living, Sarah was not forgotten. According to the Evening Star of November 30, 1922, Sarah was nominated to be one of ""the twenty-five great women who have achieved for this community before their deaths"" whose names were to be on a column of the new Temple of Womanhood building of the Women's Universal Alliance.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-9310316.6826945 4791427.9013829)|POINT(-8574570.8727094 4707150.8898456)|6|-8984114.4985615|4694946.2328355|osm

Early in her career, Stella was a teacher in Osceola WI, but she made her major mark in journalism. After marrying newspaper editor Samuel S. Fifield and starting a family, Stella wrote for The Polk County Press, a paper he edited. She also contributed to his next newspaper, The Bayfield Press. In 1871, Samuel and Stella were two of the original settlers of Ashland, Wisconsin. When The Bayfield Press became The Ashland Press in 1872, Stella was affiliated with this paper. From 1877, when Sam started The Bayfield Press again, to 1880, she wrote for both papers. Speaking of Stella, the Commemorative Biographical Record of the Upper Lake Region noted: ""she was and is not only a writer of ability, but was capable of rendering practical assistance in the typographical work of the newspaper office"" (4).
The Fifields lived at Evergreen, a beautiful home in Ashland. Samuel became postmaster and was involved in politics. In 1881, he became Lieutenant Governor. Stella served as a leader in the Ashland Chapter of the Chippewa Presbytery and was active in various charitable associations.
Stella and Sam established a camping resort, Camp Stella, on Sand Island in 1886. As Jane Celia Busch explains:
""Sam Fifield and his wife Stella began to camp on Sand Island in 1881....In 1886 they camped on the property which became Camp Stella, and soon after they purchased the property and began developing a permanent camp. While the Fifields sought relief on Sand Island for Stella's hay fever, their camping vacations were part of a popular trend...Organized, communal camps such as Camp Stella offered a more civilized camping experience, with hired help to do the work and other guests to share in recreational activities...It was an affluent, often prominent, clientele....Sam Fifield's yacht Stella was used for transportation from the mainland and for pleasure cruises around the islands"" (310-311).
The Fifields also enjoyed trips with others. In August of 1890, along with Sam and other members of the Wisconsin Press Association, Stella boarded a Pullman sleeper car on the Northern Pacific Railroad for a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Ella A. Giles, a poet whose profile also appears in A Woman of the Century, was in Stella's sleeper car during the trip. Interested in leading and in promoting women, Stella served as a member of the Wisconsin Board of Lady Managers for the Columbian Exposition during the first half of the 1890s.
Stella and Sam continued to enjoy their time on Sand Island. On June 26, 1909, she celebrated Sam's seventieth birthday there with him and numerous guests. After Stella passed away in 1913, she was buried in Ashland's Mount Hope Cemetery.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-9561297.6650336 5193066.2664514)|POINT(-10117421.83305 5875399.7994685)|6|-9822998.9405886|5492645.0753378|osm

After she married, she moved to Meriden, Connecticut and lived in that state for the rest of her life. Having a keen interest in science, she was very involved with the Meriden Scientific Association.
While her A Woman of the Century profile heading lists Ella as a temperance reformer, she was involved in many activities and causes.
Just as she had worked with her husband's business when she lived in Meriden, Ella became associate editor of her husband's periodical, New England Home, when they settled in Hartford. She utilized her editorial experience in 1899 when she became editor of Talks and Tales, ""a monthly magazine composed as to text and type entirely by the blind"" (Evening Star, December 28, 1899).
An education advocate, Ella wrote to Woman's Journal in 1896 about the many Connecticut women involved on educational boards in the state.
Also a supporter of women's rights, she was an active member of the Equal Rights Association and was corresponding secretary of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Association. In 1896 and 1897, she was very involved with the movement by the Equal Rights Association to erect a statue in Hartford in honor of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Her work for the temperance cause involved being a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and a leader of the Prohibition Party in Meriden, New Haven, and Hartford. She spoke about temperance at the 1907 New Haven County W.C.T.U. meeting and about ""Women As Citizens"" at the 1922 meeting. In addition, she was Superintendent of the Demorest Medal Contests.
Ella combined her interests in women's rights and temperance by speaking on 'How to Use the Ballot"" at the W.C.T. U. Institute in June, 1916. The Norwich Bulletin reported: ""[s]he gave a most interesting talk, citing instances to show the way it has been used for good in many places.""
She also joined with women of her Unitarian faith, being a member of the Connecticut Valley Associate Alliance of Unitarian Women and speaking at its 1922 conference.
As Ella's A Woman of the Century profile notes, ""She is a woman of active habits and strong character, and she makes her influence felt in any cause that enlists her sympathies"" (434).",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-7866030.075983 5154666.3076791)|POINT(-8103281.654283 5088617.0454212)|POINT(-8091051.729759 5122860.8340882)|7|-8022051.7854699|5163817.9436292|osm

Her profile lists her as a woman suffragist and journalist, but she also was a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a supporter of several different causes.
With a father and grandfather who were ministers and parents who were both active in reform efforts, Eliza was raised in an atmosphere with people who gave back to their communities. She followed their lead early in her life, presenting a flag to the Fifteenth Regiment of Massachusetts and speaking at that event. She also taught for ten years, including time teaching in Pittsburgh, beginning a career of passionate engagement with education. Eliza married John Lange Hill in 1866 and became a mother to three children.
Despite her domestic responsibilities, Eliza found time to toil for the many causes she believed in. As her A Woman of the Century profile explains, Eliza ""labored earnestly for the redemption of abandoned women, but, believing that preventive is more effectual than reformatory work, she has identified herself with the societies that care for and help the working girls"" (380). An 1887 article in the St. Johnsbury Caledonian discussed how she and Ellen M. H. Richards led the New England Helping-Hand Society's efforts to establish a home for working women in Boston.
Eliza also contributed as a public speaker, an early member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (especially its committee on prison reform), a political activist, and a member of the Prohibition Party.
An ardent advocate of public education, Eliza was the founder and editor of Woman's Voice and Public School Champion. She was elected to membership in the New England Woman's Press Association in 1890. The next September, Eliza joined Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore, and Susan S. Fessenden on the speaking platform at Tremont Temple for a rally related to the upcoming school committee election.
Eliza also continued to advocate for reforms. In late November of 1898, The Indianapolis Journal announced her upcoming talk, ""Glimpses of Prison Life."" Two days later, the newspaper published a lengthy review of her speech, an article that reveals Eliza's style of combining logos and pathos, sharing statistics while also touching audiences with emotional stories of individuals whose lives led them to crime.
She passed away at her home in Somerville, Massachusetts on March 29, 1908, and was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.",,,,,"McMaster, MaryKate",,,,,,,"POINT(-8036493.6064993 5192241.5825761)|POINT(-7993063.0424966 5248651.9601517)|POINT(-7910243.5223611 5215057.886225)|POINT(-7914753.3070293 5219032.6116953)|POINT(-8906303.9924351 4933170.8156896)|11|-8036531.8250133|5190467.4074903|osm

She possesses unusual power of memory, mental concentration, energy and business ability, combined with such sweetness of disposition and deference for others as to make it easy for her to accomplish whatever she undertakes.

Like many women of her time, this daughter of an Irish immigrant began her career as a teacher. In April of 1859, Emma was appointed as a teacher in Cincinnati's Third District with a salary of twenty dollars. Her salary may have been low because she was hired in April, since she is listed as having earned three hundred dollars the next year. Later, Emma served as a principal in Kansas City, Missouri.
Upon her return to Cincinnati, Emma began to deliver lectures. Her A Woman of the Century profile notes: ""She was one of the first women who presented parlor lectures on literature in the West"" (481). On February 11, 1879, The Cincinnati Daily Star advertised one of her upcoming lectures: ""Miss Emma McAvoy will deliver, at College Hall, on the evening of the 28th of February, an evening lecture on the subject, 'The Ode and Errors in Conversation.'"" Other lectures over the next two years were on ""Sonnet, with Hints for Improvement in Conversation,"" and ""The World's Conversationalists.""
As a popular figure on the lecture circuit, Emma often received praise in the press. For example, a week before her 1884 speech in Omaha, Nebraska, The Omaha Daily Bee advertised:
""On next Monday evening, November 24th, Miss Emma McAvoy will lecture on the subject, 'Hints for Improvement in Conversation.' The lady has just delivered four lectures in Denver, and is said to be a pleasing speaker.""
She also gave ""an able address well delivered"" on ""Books"" in Denver, Colorado, and a ""well attended and thoroughly enjoyed"" lecture on ""Conversation"" in Maysville, Kentucky, during 1896. Emma was still lecturing by 1900, when she lived in Cincinnati with her sister Mary.
Emma passed away on February 4, 1919, and is buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery.

On Thursday, January 10, 1895, The Fort Wayne Weekly Gazette published an article, ""Eminent Women. The Part They Are Taking in the World's Affairs,"" about the A Woman of the Century book and focusing on Carrie M. Shoaff. Speaking of Carrie, it noted:
""Among the collection appears a finely executed photogravure and a biographical sketch of a well-known Fort Wayne artist and inventor, Mrs. Carrie M. Shoaff.

Our own people are well aware of the handsome offers that have been made the artist to remove to the east and establish a studio, yet her interest in her home where were the scenes of her disappointments and her final triumph have overbalanced all, and she continues her work here.
Not only in this field has Mrs. Shoaff been successful, but as a writer the lady possesses much ability. Many of the productions of her pen have delighted GAZETTE readers and all have reflected much credit upon her skill and ability. Many articles are written over a nom-de-plume while others are unsighed. All bear the unmistakable imprint of genius. It is a pleasure to chronicle the success of such persons, because it is deserved, and the GAZETTE sincerely congratulates Mrs. Shoaff and trusts that the future may hae still greater achievements and victories in store for her.""
A Woman of the Century noted that Mrs. Shoaff had established an art school in Fort Wayne and was teaching many women about limoge work. She continued that work for several years, as Carrie is listed in the 1900 Federal Census as living on Columbia Avenue in Fort Wayne with her husband Urias and as being an Art Teacher.
On April 20, 1917, the Fort Wayne News published Carrie's letter to the editor about the death of her friend S. B. McManus, a poet and ""the leading spirit of the 'Bohemian Club.'""

She was an editor, educator, author, public speaker, and temperance reformer. Passionate about education from a young age, Emma was a graduate of the State Normal School at Albany and the City University of New York. In addition to teaching, Benedict edited “The New York School Journal.”
Also interested in writing for children, Emma penned “Pieces to Speak.” Lee and Shepard of Boston published this book which received praise from The Morning Call of San Francisco. Similarly, The New Haven Daily Morning Carrier Journal gave a positive review to Emma's The Gregory Guards, another book for young people, calling it: ""A story of reaping good by doing good, bright and entertaining and full of life, incident and good sense.""
Through her work with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Emma was affiliated with Mary H. Hunt. Speaking of her extensive research related to temperance, Benedict's A Woman of the Century profile notes: ""There is probably no other person more familiar than she with the whole subject of the nature and effects of alcohol on the human system"" (74). She and Hunt exerted a great deal of effort preparing teaching manuals on the topic.
Emma married C. Frederick Transeau in Boston on November 28, 1895. In 1900, she was living in Westwood, Massachusetts, and working as a journalist. During the first decades of the new century, Emma continued her crusade against alcohol by writing articles, non-fiction books, and temperance fiction. In addition, Emma was an officer of the Scientific Temperance Federation. Beginning in 1923, she wrote the “What the Current Magazines are Saying about Prohibition and Law Enforcement” column in The American Issue. Emma published her last book, Knotty Problems Regarding Moderate Drinking, in 1935. She passed away in Boston two years later and was buried in Clifton Park Baptist Cemetery, Clifton Park, New York.

She dedicated her life to the education of young people, especially young women, and to philanthropic causes. Hannah taught as a young woman and attended Lawrence Academy and Townsend Female Academy. After graduating from the latter school, she became Townsend Female Academy's principal. In addition, she taught in Norfolk, Virginia, for a few months.
Seven years after beginning her tenure at Townsend, Hannah moved to Worcester, Massachusetts, to teach at Oread Collegiate Institute, a school for young women that had been founded by Eli Thayer in 1848. She served as Preceptress and later as Acting Principal, while also teaching Moral Philosophy and Mathematics. One of her colleagues at Oread was Elizabeth Grout Arms, a friend who, like Hannah, had previously taught at Townsend Female Academy. According to Rev. William Jacob Cloues, Hannah's advisors included Dr. Francis Wayland (Brown's President), Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland (pastor of Worcester's Main St. Baptist Church), Dr. Edward Everett Hale (pastor of Worcester's Church of the Unity), and Hon. Isaac Davis (a lawyer and politician who served as Worcester's mayor).
In 1859, Hannah left Oread and spent a year traveling and studying in Europe. Upon her return in 1861, she opened her own school, Codman Hill Young Ladies' School, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. By 1868, Hannah's friend Elizabeth was living in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where her husband, Rev. Dr. Heman Lincoln Wayland, had become a professor at Kalamazoo College. Since Hannah moved to Michigan in 1868 to become Lady Principal at Kalamazoo College, it appears likely that Rev. Wayland had mentioned Hannah's talents to the college's leaders. Later, she returned to New England, serving in the same capacity at the co-ed New London Literary and Scientific Institution (later Colby Academy) in New London, New Hampshire.
While she officially retired in 1877, and returned to Littleton, Massachusetts, Hannah was not done giving back. In addition to being a philanthropist, she served as the superintendent of schools in Littleton, as a trustee of the Reuben Hoar Library, and as the president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union.

Alcott lived in Boston with her family during her youth and moved with them to Harvard where her father, transcendentalist Amos Bronson Alcott, had formed the Fruitlands community. Later, the family moved back to Concord. During the Civil War, Louisa worked as a nurse in Washington, D.C. While an illness halted her service shortly after it had started, the experience was the inspiration for Hospital Sketches (1863). James Redpath, her publisher, also published her On Picket Duty, and Other Tales the next year.
During her career, Louisa wrote numerous books under her own name and several thrillers under her pseudonym, A. M. Barnard. Her most famous book was Little Women published by Roberts Brothers in 1868. This book was illustrated by her sister May Alcott Nieriker, an artist whose profile is in A Woman of the Century. Louisa also edited Merry's Museum from 1868 to 1879 and wrote pieces for periodicals such as The Atlantic Monthly and The Independent.
Louisa's extensive social network included authors Ednah Dow Cheney, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Powell Bond, Henry David Thoreau, and her uncle, reformer Samuel Joseph May.
By 1883, Louisa was living in Concord and caring for both her elderly father and her niece Lu, whose mother May had passed away shortly after her birth. The Indianapolis Journal reprinted Louisa's letter to Lucy Stone that while she was interested in woman's suffrage, her family obligations prevented her from attending the Woman's Suffrage National Convention. Louisa also expressed her frustration at the lack of interest in the topic by many of Concord's women and hoped that the women at the Convention could help to provide motivation for ""these slothful sisters."" Later that year, Louisa was one of ten women who sent a joint letter to the Massachusetts and Republican State Central Committees. As The Greenville Times notes, ""They believe that the establishment of political rights for women is essential to the highest good of the state."" The other women were Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Mary G. Ames, Mary A. Livermore, Mary F. Eastman, Ednah D. Cheney, Mary C. Shannon, Mary Shannon, and Susan E. B. Channing. Louisa continued to support the cause during the 1880s.

During the 1840s, Abby and some of her family members spent time at Brook Farm, the Uptopian community in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Recalling her friends hip with Abby there, Ora Gannett Sedgwick later commented: ""Among these I must not omit to mention Abby Morton (Mrs. Diaz), who became very dear to me, and whose peculiar combination of liveliness and dignity, together with her beautiful singing, made her a favorite with all the members, old and new"" [Atlantic Monthly, 85 (509): 401].
Abby's career included being an industrial reformer, an Anti-Slavery advocate, a teacher, a housekeeper, a social worker, and an author. She was writing fiction by her early forties and contributed to The Arena, The Atlantic Monthly, Hearth and Home, The Independent, New England Magazine, Our Young Folks, and Wide Awake.
Diaz's three 1864 pieces in The Atlantic Monthly were ""The Schoolmaster's Story,"" ""Some Account of the Early Life of an Old Bachelor,"" and ""The Little Country-Girl.""
A popular juvenile fiction writer, she often published with James R. Osgood and Company. Her The William Henry Letters was published in 1872. During the Christmas holiday of 1877, her The Jimmyjohns & Other Stories received high praise from The Independent: ""The Jimmyjohns and Other Stories, by the charming juvenile writer, Mrs. A. M. Diaz, is one of the very best children's books of the year."" Some of her other works were: William Henry and His Friends, The Cats' Arabian Nights, or King Grimalkum, and Bybury to Beacon Street,
While writing, she also continued lecturing on topics such as ""Women's Work for the Millenium.""
In 1889, Abby wrote a piece about her hometown, ""A Plymouth Pilgrimage,"" for New England Magazine. Ten years later, Diaz penned ""Antislavery Times in Plymouth"" for the same periodical.
Abby continued to write and publish into the new century. Her The Flatiron and the Red Cloak; Old Times at X-Roads was published by T. Y. Crowell % Company in 1901. She passed away in Belmont, Massachusetts on April 1, 1904 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Martha lost her mother when she was an infant, and she was devoted to her father throughout her life. She attended a variety of schools, including the Green Street Select School, where she was taught by Margaret Fuller. Martha took an interest in the areas of anatomy and physiology and began discussing medicine with several medical professionals and lecturing on various medical topics. After working with a variety of physicians in Providence and Boston, and impressing physicians from the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania with her competency, Martha received a medical degree from this new institution. She was recruited to become Professor of obstetrics and diseases of women and children there, and she taught until her father requested that she return to Providence. For almost forty years, Martha had a very successful career as a Providence physician.
The History of Providence County, published in 1891 when Martha was in her early seventies, provided a lengthy biographical sketch of Martha which ended by noting: ""She is still doing all the professional work it is well for one of her age to do, and is especially interested in educating mothers to a knowledge of the laws of life, physical, mental, and spiritual"" (114).
In addition to her work as a physician, Dr. Mowry was a member of the Providence Physiological Society and the Association for the Advancement of Women.
In addition to Margaret Fuller, Martha's vast personal network included Edna Dow Cheney, Lydia Maria Child, Julia Ward Howe, and Lucretia Mott.
Dr. Mowry passed away on August 29, 1899 and was buried in the Mowry Lot in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

She was born in Stuttgart, Germany, on March 7, 1850. Her studies began at the conservatory there and continued at the exclusive Royal Theater School in Stuttgart, where only two of the most accomplished and advanced students from the conservatory were selected by the king. From early on, her talent and potential were recognized.
On completing her education, Julie immigrated to the United States, where her sister was already established. In 1869, at the age of nineteen, she married J. H. Rosewald of Baltimore, Maryland. Rosewald also had a musical background, and she performed as a solo violinist as well as a composer.
Soon after, Julie left for Europe to pursue her studies, this time with instructor Marie Von Marra, in Frankfurt. The composer Franz Apt was engaged to tour some of the major US cities, and Mrs. Julie Rosewald was contracted to interpret Apt's work.
In 1875, her career turned to opera and operatic interpretation. Julie made her debut as Marguerite in Toronto and became very successful and popular. More opportunities opened up and she traveled with the Carol Richings Opera Company and Clara Louise Kellogg English Opera Company. She and her husband toured various European cities. As a prima donna with the Emma Abbot Opera Company, Mrs. Julie Rosewald developed her career and eventually concluded her performing, having achieved critical acclaim.
The couple moved to San Francisco in 1884. It was there that she began the next segment of her professional life, as a well-respected vocal instructor and composer. She earned a reputation as a cultural change agent in her adopted city. Fluent in English, German, Italian and French, Mrs. Rosewald was most accomplished.
